Wow, and here everyone though Sony was going to lose. 

Well, that's the deal with copyright and technology law.

The majority of Judges don't know or understand it.

So even when companies shouldn't win, sometimes their lawyers can convince judges otherwise espite precedent pointing the otherawys.

So Sony shouldn't have won?

Have fun playing MW2

Amazing that people are so narrow minded that they could possibly think Sony should win this case.  Does it suck that people have used this information to hack MW2 and possibly pirate other games, yes.  So you go after the ones doing the actual damage, the ones actually breaking the law.

The DMCA attempts to make it illegal to do something that is not illegal.  Using your own property how you see fit is not illegal.  Because Hotz and others were able to find a way to use their PS3s for other things than what Sony wants is NOT illegal.  If someone uses that information to do something illegal, then you go after them, not the guy that provides the information.

How is this any different than if I sell you a gun and show you how to use it, and you go shoot someone.  You should get arrested, not me.

As for the future outcome, the courts are already bought and paid for by corporate money, so I have no doubt that Sony will win.  And many idiots on here will celebrate.
